Mondaiji.com is a burgeoning social community aimed at subculture freelancers, artists, and enthusiasts.  Fans of subculture along with comedians, musicians, singers, media creators, bands, photographers, dancers, etc. can get to know each other, become friends, and display their creations for all to see.  Being a community of independent-minded people, Mondaiji.com seeks to better connect subculture artists with fans as well as freelancers with clients.

For example:

• You want to make your own website but need a web designer and graphic artist.
• You work for a small media production company that needs actors for a promotional video.  Using a talent agency is expensive, so you would prefer to find and hire a few actors directly.
• You're in a band but need a drummer.
• You're a drummer looking for a band.
• You're a comedian hoping to collaborate with other comedians.
• You need a translator / interpreter for an upcoming project.
• You want to learn a foreign language or martial art.
• You're an independent artist / musician / comedian and want to better publicize your creations and connect with fans.
• You're a foreigner living in Japan or interested in Japan.
• You're a Japanese person living abroad or interested in foreign cultures.
• You're a free-thinker and want to connect with other like-minded people.

Subculture is the opposite of mainstream pop culture. Subculture is NOT...

• Johnny's
• Yoshimoto
• Music Station
• Hey! Hey! Hey!
• Red Carpet
• Enta No Kami-sama
• Avex
• Sony
• Mixi
• Oricon

and things like that.

Subculture is not what big corporations feed you.  It is independent and free-spirited.  While mainstream culture is a flock of sheep, subculture is the lone wolf.

I myself am an IT freelancer that also performs subculture comedy in Japan.  I don't think there are many websites in Japan where subculture can be experienced, so I wanted to create a community for freelancers, artists, and fans like myself.

"Mondaiji" is the Japanese word for "problem child."  However, in Japanese slang there's another meaning.  Since we oppose mainstream pop culture, subculture-ites are known as "mondaiji."  In other words, we don't do what our parents want us to do.  We play music, travel abroad, start our own businesses, and creatively express ourselves.

Those sites target anyone and everyone, so I think they're too far-reaching.  Mondaiji.com is composed solely of interesting, independent-minded subculture-ites.

It's 100% free.  There is also no "Mondaiji Premium" service.
